Chapter 2064: The Rise of the Rebel Army (Part 2)

2065, Rebel Rise (Part 2)

After making some arrangements for the actions of the rebels here, Padmé Amidala came to another separate communication room in the basement, checked the time, and then turned on the communication.

After waiting for about a few minutes, the communication was connected, and the holographic projection projected the image of a mature woman in her thirties.

It was Mon Mothma, the Imperial Senator of Chandrila!

"I'm sorry, leader. In recent days, patrols on Coruscant have been strengthened a lot, and it took me a little longer to get rid of those patrols." Mon Mothma also called Padmé Amidala "leader".

In the political arena, Padmé Amidala is her predecessor. Although she is only two years younger than Padmé, when she first became a Chandrila senator in 32 BBY and was still the youngest senator of the Republic Parliament, Padmé Amidala had already eliminated the invasion of Naboo by the Trade Federation as the Queen of Naboo, impeached the former Speaker Phineas Valorum, and supported Sif Palpatine as the new Speaker.

However, Mon Mothma, who was born in aristocracy, actually disagreed with Padmé Amidala at the beginning, but as they spent more and more time in the parliament, Mon Mothma was gradually convinced by the brave, straightforward and intelligent Padmé Amidala.

In the process of opposing the dictatorship of Speaker Palpatine, those who gradually came together were actually led by Padmé Amidala.

So for Mon Mothma, Padmé Amidala has always been her idol. When Padmé decided to use force to fight against Emperor Palpatine and started to form a rebellion, Mon Mothma was the first to stand up and support her, and also used all her resources to assist the activities of the rebellion.

And she naturally called Padmé Amidala "leader".

Padmé Amidala smiled and said, "It's okay. Seeing you safe and sound is the most important thing to me. If this operation wasn't so important, I wouldn't want you to get involved too much."

"No, all of this is necessary." Mon Mothma shook his head and said seriously, "I have made all preparations, including exile. As long as I can overthrow the reactionary rule of the Sith Lords and restore fairness and freedom to the galaxy, I am willing to pay any price."

She paused and continued, "Yesterday, Senator Bail Organa formally submitted an impeachment to the Imperial Senate. All the corruption of the Imperial 14th Army Governor Uloda has been proven. In today's meeting, the impeachment procedure will be formally initiated, and the Imperial Supreme Court will also participate. According to the previous arrangement, I will still stand on the loyalist position to defend Uloda and confront Senator Bail Organa. But if nothing unexpected happens, Uloda will be dismissed."

Padmé said, "But this is just the beginning. The Empire will soon appoint a new governor, and we can't let this happen so quickly."

"Fashe (Fashe thy) is ready, he will compete for the position of Governor of the 14th Army. This will be a destructive competition, the purpose is to delay the time for the 14th Army to settle down. "Mon-Mothma said, "But... what are you going to do to get the planet Ryloth out of the rule of the Empire?"

Padmé shook her head and said, "The whole picture of a plan, the fewer people know the better. Sorry, Senator Mothma, I can't let you know this part, it will only increase your danger. "

Mon-Mothma nodded and said, "I understand, leader. I will do my part well. , to ensure the success of Uroda's impeachment motion and delay the election of the new governor of the 14th Army. Everything will go according to plan. In addition, I am also trying to raise more funds, but recently Palpatine has also noticed some abnormal outflows of funds. He ordered a thorough investigation of the finances of 29 planets, and Chandrila is on the list. "

"Then you should be careful. I will solve the problem of funds. Don't expose yourself because of this little thing. If you need to balance the account, I can also use our funds to help." Padmé Amidala said.

"For now, it's okay. I can transfer part of the gap to Fache. He may be charged with some corruption, but you also know that corruption is probably the most common thing in the officialdom of the Empire. Fache is very determined and he knows what he should do." Mon-Mothma said.

"Then you should be more careful. After the meeting tomorrow, give me a reply as soon as possible." Padmé nodded and said.

"Okay, leader." Mon Mothma smiled and saluted Padmé before closing the communication.

Padmé Amidala did not finish, she answered another call, "General Dodonna, is your warship ready?"

On the other end of the call was a middle-aged man in the uniform of the Galactic Empire Navy. Judging from his badge, his current rank was Major General.

Jane Dodonna, a former Vice Admiral of the Galactic Republic Navy, and Vice Admiral Skarlid jointly commanded the Battle of the Rendili System, but suffered a disastrous defeat under the strategy of Severance Tann. After that, he was abandoned by the Galactic Republic for a time, but later through a series of efforts, he returned to the army again and was promoted to Rear Admiral again.

He casually stroked his curly hair and said, "The two Imperial-class Star Destroyers are in good condition, almost like they were just shipped out of the factory. But according to the records on the warships, they have been meritorious warships that have experienced more than 20 battles... It's very strange. The "donor" you told me about is very clever. I think he is at least at the level of admiral in the Imperial Army."

Padmé Amidala said, "Don't worry about the origins of these two Star Destroyers. The more you know, the more dangerous it is."

"So, you are the most dangerous one, right?" Jane Dodonna smiled.

"That's enough. We can't let such risks expand." Padmé said, "Since these two Imperial-class Star Destroyers can be used and the identification codes are fine, your mission can also begin. I will send you the instructions of the current 14th Army Governor Uloda. From today on, you are the commander of the reinforcements ordered by Uloda himself."

"I understand, I will handle it." Major General Jane Dodonna smiled, saluted, and ended the communication.

Next, Padmé Amidala made several more communications and arranged all the plans in place. If a third party saw her communication list at this time, they would definitely be shocked.

Because the people Padmé contacted at this time involved a series of high-ranking and powerful people such as the Galactic Empire Parliament, the army, the administrative agencies, and local officials! It's no wonder that she is almost omnipotent and knows everything about the Galactic Empire, because she has the support of these enlightened officials and officers!

Padmé Amidala had a very deep relationship with the Galactic Republic military because of Anakin Skywalker. In addition, she was very active in the Republic Congress, and a large number of members were willing to stand on her side. The combination of various factors allowed her to use many relationships to weave a huge network to cover the Galactic Empire.

Of course, Palpatine's extremely brutal style of behavior was also the biggest help for Padmé Amidala's influence to be so huge.

And now, with the support of these people and the planning of Padmé Amidala, the uprising on the planet Ryloth will deal a heavy blow to the Galactic Empire!

…

For the Galactic Empire, from the second day, the situation on the planet Ryloth was like a wild horse running away, rushing directly in a completely uncontrollable direction.

First, Uloda, the governor who was originally responsible for rebuilding the Empire's 14th Army, was impeached by opposition members such as Bail Organa. The opposition members directly submitted a lot of evidence, clearly pointing out that Uloda misappropriated a large amount of funds originally used to rebuild the 14th Army and enriched himself.

What is even more unacceptable is that Uloda actually has connections with several interstellar pirates. After planning to rebuild the 14th Army, he used these pirates to support his own interests, improve the status of the 14th Army, and make himself more powerful.

Such a conclusive accusation forced Uloda to leave the 14th Army's headquarters, the planet Ryloth, and go to the Imperial Center (formerly the planet Coruscant) to attend a meeting.

But before the impeachment process was completed, Uloda was still the governor of the 14th Army. However, the bad thing is that because the evidence against him is very conclusive, Uloda must devote himself to dealing with this crisis that concerns his entire political career during this period.

What's even better is that Uloda seems to have received the support of some senators headed by Mon Mothma. They continue to help Uloda clear his name and confront the opposition senators of Bail Organa, further delaying the impeachment that should have been certain.

Uloda had never thought that the pirates who came to discuss cooperation were actually members of the rebels. They had been robbing the official supply ships of the Galactic Empire, but not civilian merchant ships. However, for the Galactic Empire, there seemed to be no difference between the two, as they were all pirates.

Just when Uloda was struggling in the center of the Empire, the two Nightwatcher-class frigates that were originally planned to go to the planet Rylos to strengthen the mobile patrol force were intercepted near the planet Tythe. They were intercepted by a formation of two Imperial-class Star Destroyers commanded by Imperial Navy Rear Admiral Jane Dodenna.

Rear Admiral Jane Dodenna directly presented the order of the 14th Army Governor Uloda, requesting to take over the two Nightwatcher-class frigates. Although the commanders of the two frigates were a little confused, it was impossible for them to go to Governor Uloda for confirmation, and the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers were actually here, so they chose to believe it.

Then, the crews of the two Nightwatcher-class frigates were immediately replaced - Jan Dodenna simply requested a meeting and boarded the warship. A team of extremely elite rebel soldiers wearing Imperial Navy uniforms completely occupied the two frigates in less than ten minutes.

So at this time, Jan Dodenna had two Imperial-class Star Destroyers and two Nightwatch-class frigates under his command, and also had the real transfer order from the frigate commander.

When his powerful formation that was completely beyond the plan arrived at the planet of Ryloth, the governor's adjutant who stayed behind on the planet of Ryloth had almost no doubts - the hierarchy in the Imperial Navy was strict, and the commander of a squadron was not someone that he, the adjutant, dared to offend.

If the 14th Army had been rebuilt and the army and fleet were assigned, then this adjutant could completely ignore a mere squadron. But now, the 14th Army has just resumed its numbering, and their governor is still guilty. Under such circumstances, this adjutant naturally dared not have any thoughts about Jan Dodenna, the fleet commander who had just been transferred from the center of the Empire.

The current 14th Army is completely in chaos, lacking a unified command, and leaderless. And Jan Dodenna also struck while the iron was hot. He showed off his power in the meeting, put on airs and scolded the original commander, and then demanded that all the warships be integrated immediately and reorganized.

In fact, in this matter, the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers led by Major General Dodenna played the most critical role. Because if he only led two Victory-class or two Aquitens-class ships, his words would not be very convincing.

But now the strength of the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers and two Nightwatch-class frigates he brought is almost the same as the original garrison fleet of the planet Ryloth. Now he has been directly appointed by the Imperial Center, and the appointment is signed by Governor Uloda, so the commander of the garrison fleet did not have much doubt and accepted the reorganization.

What does reorganization mean? As a reminder, there were also two Imperial-class Star Destroyers in the original garrison fleet, but the marines on these two Imperial-class ships are now stationed on the ground of the planet. But the two Imperial-class Star Destroyers brought by Major General Jan Dodenna are fully staffed!

Two whole legions, 18,000 rebel soldiers!

When reorganizing, the crews of both sides will also be reorganized. So facing 18,000 elite rebel soldiers, the entire garrison fleet changed its master without firing a shot!

At the same time, on the ground of the planet Ryloth, the Twi'leks immediately rose up and launched an uprising. A large number of Twi'lek warriors picked up a large number of weapons obtained from nowhere, attacked the municipal centers of various cities, and arrested imperial officials.

However, the uprising slogans put forward by these Twi'lek rebels were unexpected. They claimed that they revolted to support the planetary governor Uloda! They demanded that the Galactic Empire immediately withdraw all charges against Uloda and release Uloda back to the planet Ryloth!
